Question 6: What Is the Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature for a PPTC ?
The maximum ambient temperature for a PPTC during operation depends on the specific product type. For most of our products, this range can extend up to 85°C, with some capable of withstanding temperatures as high as 125°C. For PPTC resettable fuses in a non-operating state, certain models can tolerate short exposure to reflow soldering temperatures, and are compatible with both lead-free and leaded soldering processes.
